Screw Systems, Use Seabirds!

  • Boss: If this system doesn't pick up soon we will have to keep track of our inventory on an albatross.
  • *Luke stares blankly*
  • *Moment of silence*
  • *Luke starts trying to understand the reference.... hmmm... keep track of our inventory on a large sea bird? I don't get it. Is this a common expression? Everyone else seems to be in agreement... How am I not getting this? Think vigeant! Think! Plucking a feather from the bird every time an order is created and feeding it a fish every time we buy stock? No! That won't work... How did I make it so far in life... What am I...*thought interrupted*
  • Boss: Shit, that's not the word... what's that beady thing called?
  • Luke: Ohhhhh an Abacus!
  • *Luke's brain. Phhhhew - You are still smart kiddo!*
